Network Spoofer isn’t working!^

Firstly, some devices ‘just won’t work’. Please see the various sections below for information about what could or should be done.

Problems when downloading^

This part should work across all devices, so any problems should be fixable.

Download stops part way^

This is probably caused by a lack of SD card space; Network Spoofer needs around 600MB while downloading but only 4ooMB once installed. Please double check this if the download fails.

Download doesn’t start^

Firstly check your internet connectivity. If the webpage on the screen doesn’t show at all then this is probably the problem.

Other problems are caused by antivirus software on your phone. Please note that Network Spoofer is not a virus, malware or any sort of spyware – nothing is done to your phone, only to websites visited. No data is collected from these websites.

Network Spoofer is detected as a virus by some programs due to the way these programs search for viruses – see the ‘Effectiveness‘ section of the wikipedia page on Heuristic analysis.

Problems when running^

The biggest hurdle here is the very first ‘start’ button on the main screen; if you can get past this then Network Spoofer will most likely work.

Initial ‘Start’ button^

The most common problem here is the ‘Droid’ issue. This happens on all Droid devices as well as many others and is characterised by the following line in the device’s log:

cerr: mount: mounting /dev/block/loop2000 on /data/local/mnt failed: Invalid argument

I still have no idea why this happens and if anyone can find out why or find a fix I’d love to hear about it.

Other stages^

After the previously mentioned stage there are many more things that could have happened – if not listed here I would recommend getting in contact.

Creating a device log^

Please see the page on reporting bugs.

Ideas / suggestions^

It would be great to hear any suggestions, additions or new spoofs for Network Spoofer – get in contact and if possible I’ll add it in the next release.
